I think there is more complexity in this project than most of you realize. It's sad that most of you can only see triangles. In fact it's the same people who see the same curvy form over and over again from Zaha and go "masterpiece" but don't understand that those curves when built get rationalized in quads or trianglular panels. At least this project tries to use rationalized geometry in a conceptual manner rather taking a conceptual geometry and post-rationalizing how the skin will be built. Good project.

It’s sad that most of you can only see triangles. In fact it’s the same people who see the same curvy form over and over again from Zaha and go “masterpiece” but don’t understand that those curves when built get rationalized in quads or trianglular panels.

Good project.

This superficial skin-job will become a jarring eyesore in Little Tokyo - much like the Office dA gas station it seems modeled after over in the Beverly Hills area. Dropping a harsh metal 3d-wireframe building into a cozy commerical/residential neighborhood will not necessarily make a successful mall, no matter what new demographic the shops inside are aimed at. Thinking in terms of the neighborhood, pedestrian movement, and the existing urban fabric may lead to a more integrated and desirable destination for my rapidly gentrifying little neighborhood. I am hoping someday soon we see some architects from the SCI-Arc clan dealing with the issues of real space rather than digital surfaces.
